Linux 6.18 running on #z486_MiSTer. Interestingly, GRUB 2 uses the CR4 register, which isn’t available on the 486. So let's boot the old-school way with SYSLINUX.

Win95 is up on #z486_MiSTer, after many bug fixes.

I’m almost done with my Sega GT 2002 decompilation project for PC.

I’ve rewritten most of the game’s lighting and rendering, while keeping all of the visual upgrades optional. I’ve also added a pretty ridiculous number of quality of life improvements along the way.

Here’s hics & Lighting
• Direct3D 12 and Vulkan
• HDR rendering and output
• PBR materials and lighting
• GTAO with temporal reprojection
• Screen space global illumination
• Volumetric lighting and sun shafts
• Dynamic headlights
• Dynamic car reflections
• Sun and headlight shadows with contact shadows
• FidelityFX screen space reflections
• Automatic exposure
• Bloom
• Motion blur
• Gran Turismo 7 tone mapping
• FidelityFX CAS sharpening
• Recovered original track lighting
• 16x anisotropic filtering
• DLSS, FSR and XeSS
• DLAA and native AA modes
• FXAA
• Resolution scaling beyond the original 640×480
• Instant Ctrl+G comparison between original and upgraded graphics

Gameplay
• Optional realistic car physics with per wheel tyre grip, suspension, weight transfer, drivetrain, ABS and traction control
• Improved AI with adjustable difficulty and predictive braking
• Hood camera
• Right stick camera orbit
• Quick race retry

Modernisation & Quality of Life
• Native 16:9 widescreen support
• Optional modern UI
• DualSense adaptive triggers and enhanced haptics
• PS5 controller prompts
• 360° goods previews
• Improved car shop turntable and inspection controls
• Car stat comparison in the shop
• Garage sorting and favourites
• Remembers menu, shop and garage selections
• Automatic save backups
• UI automatically hides when showcasing cars
• All 11 unused cars restored to the car shop
• Optional intro skip

The goal has been to preserve Sega GT 2002 while making it feel at home on a modern PC. Almost there. 🏁

Butter-smooth Doom on MiSTer. z486_MiSTer 20261003 is out 🚀
Doom +9.3%, Quake +19%.
Studying 486 patents has helped solve more of the chip’s mysteries, including instruction decoding and x87 dispatch, leading to a simpler design and better performance.

Measuring Konami CPU clock cycles per instruction right now. This CPU is used on many popular cores such as The Simpsons. I am using @wickerwaka’s picoROM gadget for this. Sweet!
